While, for the rest of the world this Monday is still going to be boring and mundane, there is one guy who is probably flying high on cloud nine and dancing with joy, with no ‘blues’ to give whatsoever. The guy in question is none other than Karan Johar, whose directorial debut ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ is making the world go crazy, even after 20 years of its release. And the Berlin Film Festival only cemented the fact for us.

If the Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol-Rani Mukherjee starrer taught us anything, it is the trick of using cheesy pickup lines like a pro, and getting any girl with ‘pyaar dosti hai’ logic. Seriously, didn’t we all try this line, “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai *insert our crush’s name*, tum nahi samjhoge”, on people at least once?
Well, how can we forget that this is the same movie that gave us Sana Saeed. Yes, we are talking about the hottie from ‘Student Of The Year’.
The movie also gave us one of the most epic transformation stories, which happened over an unrequited love.

The movie also gave one of the coolest Dadis of all time and even today we feel that she possibly time-travelled from the future, because she was clearly way ahead of her time. She even sneaked out with her granddaughter for a summer camp.
The movie made us realize how life is not about ‘counting dollars’ but ‘stars’, thanks to this kid, who had just one job throughout the movie and that was to look at stars.
Lastly, the movie also predicted Salman’s future for all of us that he is going to stay single.
The movie had something or the other for everyone and no matter how old we grow; we can re-watch this movie every time it pops up on our TV screens.

But, we guess it isn’t just India that’s affected by the charm of this movie. Other countries too love Bollywood as much as we do, and the magic of this iconic movie was witnessed at the Berlin Film Festivals. To pay a tribute to ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra played the title track, which was welcomed by a huge round of applause by the audience.
Honestly, there couldn’t have been a better rendition than this and we can listen to it the whole day on loop. Even Karan Johar was so impressed by it that he took to Twitter to express his joy.
Was so excited and honoured to see this!!!!! #KuchKuchHotaHai https://t.co/EKsDTSMVj1
